Many things make us the individual that we become. There are many different situations and people that help to shape our life. Sometimes these individuals do not know what a difference they have made in our life. They can influence us for good or bad and oftentimes it is unknown for a period of time what direction your life is going to take.

I received my bachelor degree in Human Services. I enjoyed the program and the friendships that have developed as a result of going through this program. I have met some amazing individuals there. Work History.

I did this until I was 16 years-old.
When I turned 16 I got a job at a fast food restaurant. I started out by doing the dining room and bathroom cleaning. I went around and made sure that the customers had everything that they needed. Then I started working behind the counter doing french fries, register, sandwiches, grill, and even being front or back line coordinator. I did this until I was around 18or 19
